fin Receptacles, of which the fo owing is a specification.

This invention relates generally to recep- 'tacles and particularly to that class wherein the device in its entirety is made up of paper and then coated with a waterproofing ma terial such as paraffin. More specifically the invention is designed as an improvement in paper milk bottles .and relates articular-ly to the construction about the nec and about the bottom wherein the cap is more elfeotually received and held in place in the mouth of the bottle while the ottoni is more firmly secured to the vessel and v)ermits the receptacle to rest squarely and atly upon its bottom.

The invention may be further briefly summarized as consisting in the construction hereinafter set forth in the following description, drawings and claims.

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation ,z Fig; 2 is a vertical section; Fig. 3 is a plan of the reinforcing strip to be applied to the neck of the bottle; Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the manner in which the bottom is secured to the body portion of thelbottle and Fig, 5 is a detailed view in section of one side of the neck setting forth the. reinforcement.

in carrying out our invention any particu? lar form of pa er rece )tacle may be employed provide it has the necessary characteristics, but we have shown one form in the drawings which meets the requirements with great ellici icy and in such embodiment l re resents t' 1e body portion which is preferab y conical in form, as shown, and has at its l upper edge an inwardly projecting flange 2 forming a portion ofthe seat upon Whic the cap 2 rests. At its lower .edge it is first flanged outwardly to form the flange portion 3 which isadapted to be less in diameter' thanthe diameter of a bottom 4 which is formed with a turned-up edge Li so that the I body portion may set nicely therein and is secured to this body portieri by crimping'its edge over the edge 3 as shown 1n Fig. and then turning both parts up against the side of the body portion 1 as shown in full lines in Fig. 2 thus forming a double seam. Glue is Worked into this double seam and servos to hold the parts together.

The reinforcement of the neck is brought about by winding u on the neck portion of the body portion a finality of circular bands which are preferab y formed from one strip as shown in Fig. 3. This reinforcing band strip comprises a relativel narrow ortion 5 adapted to wrap aroun the nec r of the bottle so that its-edge when in place is flush with the u per face of the Bange Z thereby forming a `liroad seat for the cap 2'; a relatively broad ortion 6 adapted to wrap around the neel; of the bottle and around the band portion 5 and further to project above the upper edge of the band 5 and flange 2 to form a cylindrical mouth for receiving the cap as it rests on the seat, and a still broader band 7 adapted to extend entirely around the neck and outside of the band 6 to reinforce the same. This strip is referably a plied by winding it u on the nec and is hel 1n place by means o glue.

It will be seen from the foregoing description that a paper vessel of great efficiency is provided wherein the bottle will rest flat upon the crate wires whereby the weight of the liquid is taken oil from the binding edge and a neck structure is produced wherein the cap may rest firmly upon the upper edge of the body portion, thus preventing it from being pushed into the bottle, and the neck structure is reinforced in 'a manner such that it may not be broken down easily. lt is also quite obvious that by this construction only a small portion of the glued joints are exposed to the action of the milk which would tend to loosen them.

' Jlaving described our invention, wev claim:

seat, and4 a portion extending above the same and forming a cap retainer.

2. ln a paper milk bottle, a body portion, a neck portion having its upper edge bent laterally forming a flange, reinforcing means surrounding the neck'portion, part of said 'reinforcing means extending substantially to the top of the neck portion and coperating with said Harige in forming a cap seat, and part of said reinforcing means extending above the neck portion so as to form a cap retainer.

3. As an article of manufacture, a rece tacle comprising a body portion and a reir torcing strip to be Wound about the neck and consisting of a relatively narrow portion adapted when a plied to form with the upper edge of the ody portion a stopper cap seat, and a broader portion adapted to extend above the seat and down onto the neck `of the-receptacle whereby a retaining portion fior the cap is `l'ormed above said. cap seat and 'a reinforcement is supplied to the neck.

4. As any article of manufacture, a pap'er receptacle comprising a body portion having an inwardly projecting flange at its u per edge anda strip Wound about the neer of said receptacle and having a portion so arranged that its edge is usbed With the upper face o1" said iange 'thereby forming' a stopper cap seat and another portion adapted to er;-

tend above said seat and ferm projeeticn for retaining a cap upon said seat.

5. Ae an article oi' manufacture, a paper bottle comprising a body portieri and a neck portion having its upper edge projecting in- Wardiy and forming an annular flange, a re inforcing4 member extendnlg around the neck. ortion and having a portion iiusli with said ilange and forming with the same a cap seat and a portion extending above the fiange and forming a cap retainer.

In testimony whereof We aiiix oursigna tin-es in presence of two Witnesses.
